Mojo Chicken & Pineapple Salsa

June 28th, 2010

This salsa also makes a great appetizer when served with chips!

At first, I paired this recipe for salsa with a nut coated chicken breast and it didn’t take me long to realize after I began to eat this light & lively dish that the salsa was the super star-that really just about any grilled meat would make a great summer time companion for the salsa. 

For the fastest preparation, pair with a rotisserie chicken and canned black beans.  If you do choose to grill your meat at home, grill it simply with olive oil, salt & pepper-just make sure the grill is hot -400+ degrees, don’t overcook, and allow the meat to rest before cutting into it-
